Cottonberry Creations: Penny black card

Penny black card

While blog hopping I came across a sketch challenge and thought I would have a go as the sketch looked quite easy. I had just bought a new 6x6 cardstock pack called Bloom and Grow by My Mind's Eye and I decided to use card from that pack to make this card. Here is my finished effort. Lots of matting and layering with Orange, Brown, Green and Purple card. I pricked round the edge of the card and the first layer. I added my stamped image and a flower. A few brads ,ribbon and a small sentiment finished it off.

If you would like to join in the challenge or see the designer team creations go visitthis site.
